B.1. URGENT MATTERS - PROTOCOL ITEMS

B.1.c. Point of Privilege (B. Mason).

________________________________________________________________

On a Point of Privilege, Councillor B. Mason stated there was a dispute during the morning portion of the Council meeting on what had transpired at the July 19, 1999 Special Community Services Committee meeting. He read the following transcript of that portion of the July 19, 1999 Special Community Services Committee meeting into the record:

“Councillor J. Taylor: I am going to suggest that that should be made as a subsequent

motion tomorrow after we deal with 1, 2 and 3 that we are recommeding to Council and if we don’t pass 1, 2 or 3, it wouldn’t matter whether we do that or not. So, I am going to suggest that what we should be doing for tomorrow is dealing with 1, 2 or 3 and then if they make it through Council, then a subsequent motion asking for a report back would be in order and I believe that is what we did with the Public Places. It was a subsequent motion, I think.

Mr. Phipps (Law): Madam Chair, Councillor Taylor, that is correct. It was done at

Council. So, after the bylaw was passed.

Councillor J. Taylor: So, I am not going to support this as an amendment, but I’ll

certainly support it tomorrow as a subsequent motion if you bring it, Councillor Mason.”
